If anyone was lucky enough to be watching the British Crime & Investigation channel in 2008, then you would have seen the exclusive footage of Seung discussing Eric & Dylan on camera, unfortunately for whatever reason it is not online and they have never aired it since. I'm still hoping someone had recorded it off the TV. I have e-mailed the channel multiple times but have never gotten a response. The only VT Docu on YouTube is that one where they interview his family in Korea, which has been uploaded to death on there, but no sign of that other one.

What was he talking about? What he liked about Eric and Dylan? Just need some background information.
Seung struck me as a huge fanboy - using misconstrued information about Eric and Dylan being victims of "bullying" as an excuse to delve into what they did.

They had aired all of his tapes he had mailed to NBC, in one of them he is sitting close to the camera and at the end of one of his rants he says the "martyrs like Eric and Dylan" line. I have never seen that footage on the internet, I have never seen that documentary on the internet and it has really bugged me, I wish I could remember what else he was saying, I thought at the time that it would probably be on the internet. I have actually just sent the TV channel another e-mail asking about it.
One thing that sticks out in the documentary, though I could be thinking of another one, was a crime investigator looking at his photos holding his guns and she talked about him going to the gym a lot before he died because he imagined himself as a Rambo style action hero that people were going to look up to and he wanted to look the part.

I found that documentary on YouTube the other week...with that very same Eric and Dylan reference. If I can find it again I will link it as I have been searching for it for a few days now. It is there. I am sure of it.
Can't link it....
Go to YouTube and search Virginia Tech Massacre Documentary. If the video starts with an obnoxiously loud noise overba drawing of Pacino in Scarface, you have the right video.
Thank you, but this isn't the right one. In the one on the UK Crime Channel it was an actual video of Seung looking into the camera and mentioning Eric and Dylan in his own voice. In the one you linked it was just a narrator mentioning the video and not the footage itself. I have only seen that footage once when it was aired on TV and never online.

Damn, I was sure that was it. I know the exact clip you are talking about because the show also has a clip of him saying (in a call to arms for the oppressed):
"Now is the time to pick up our guns. Now is the time to pick up our knives and to pick up our sharp objects."
It is a quote unavailable on every documentary about the shooting aside from the British one you mentioned. The quote possibly puts into perspective that somewhat silly picture of Seung with the hammer in his hands. He may well have been trying to show the "generation of the oppressed" that they needn't have guns like he did, but could attack and strike terror with simple objects anyone could find in thier home.
Sorry. I totally thought that was the right documentary. I will find it because that "Eric and Dylan" quote stuck with me because after I saw him say it, I couldn't find a full script mentioning it anywhere on line.
I will find it for you sir or Madame!
Later on... Damn, I cannot find it, but I know I saw it because of that one reference you mentioned. Damn it all.
This is why we can't have nice things! Half of my searches for the Virginia Tech Massacre lead back to what, you ask? Virginia Tech Hoax Crisis Actors Exposed!!! (Sigh...)

BTW, on the topic of Cho's "Eric and Dylan" remark...the Harris's and Klebold's must be getting really damn tired of having thier children's actions being seen as inspiration by mass shooters.
I can almost imagine them internally wincing every time the news breaks to a "Special Report". It's not bad enough having to process Sandy Hook or Virginia Tech, but to always have your names attached to these things.

That was a reference to Oldboy. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have to wonder how the survivors must feel knowing that their tormentors are still inspiring other massacres. Probably horrified and saddened.

There is no evidence that Cho ever watched "Oldboy", though it is a possibility. I don't see why he'd be making cinematic references but, then again, it is not like he was acting very rationally.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] good point about the survivors. I failed to take into account their feelings. It must be rough seeing people idolize those who tried to kill them.

THIS is the documentary I was talking about. It shows most (or all?) of Seung's video tapes. This is only a trailer for it, sadly, I cannot find the whole thing. I knew I didn't imagine it!
